1 to 24 December
If you have the free 'My John Lewis' app* (available on Apple and Android) you can get daily offers and even some freebies as part of its '24 Treats of Christmas' every day in December until Christmas Eve (Tuesday 24 December).
The promotion is open to new and existing members, but if you join after 1 December, you'll only be able to claim offers from the day you join onwards, not retrospectively.
A new deal will launch each day when you go into the app and tap to open its digital advent calendar door. While we can't promise you'll receive a partridge in a pear tree, this is a bit of festive fun and in some cases, you can get total freebies so it's worth a look if you like John Lewis products.
It's doubled the length of its advent calendar compared to last year when it was only 12 days. Though, you'll need to be quick to claim the offers – the competitions are usually only open to enter for one day, while you only get up to about three days to claim a freebie.
Here are some of the offers we've seen so far this year:
- Free box of Monty Bojangles chocolates (normally about £5)
- A competition to win a Sage coffee machine
- 20% off John Lewis own brand nightwear
- Free slice of cake when you buy a hot drink at Place To Eat (John Lewis' in store café)
- A competition to win a Shark beauty bundle
- 'Free' mascara when you spend £30 on Estee Lauder
Validity periods will vary and can be found on each offer. If you opt in for push notifications, you’ll be sent daily reminders to open the doors, but you have to open the door in order to get the offer each day.

Black Friday deals round-up
We're not hugely impressed with the deals for Ghd this Black Friday, but there are a few small discounts off the Air Hair Dryer, Creative Curl Wand and Rise Hot Brush products. Although we did spot bigger discounts both throughout the year and last Black Friday.
If two retailers are price-matching, look out for free delivery and extras such as extended guarantees to make sure you're getting the best possible deal.
Here are the best Ghd deals we've spotted on Friday 29 November:
Ghd model Normal price Cheapest we’ve spotted Ghd Original Hair Straightener £139 £100 at Amazon*, John Lewis* (in-store only) and Very. We saw it for £94.99 earlier in the year. Ghd Air Hair Dryer £139 £94.99 at Amazon* and John Lewis* (in-store only) but was cheaper last Black Friday and £88.99 at Amazon earlier this year. Ghd Creative Curl Wand (28-23mm) £159 £114.46 at Amazon*. Was slightly cheaper last year and £108 earlier this year. Ghd Rise Hot Brush £179 £134 at Ghd, the same price as last year. However, it was £128.99 at Amazon earlier this year.
Although buying directly from Ghd may not get you the best discounts, it might offer some small extra benefits. Currently, it has an extra 5% off sale items via the code: FLASH5 until 11.59pm on Friday 29 November. Last year, if you used the code GHDXBF at the checkout you got you a free Bodyguard Heat Protect Spray 120ml (normally about £15).Important: Don’t get taken in by the hype around Black Friday and buy things you don’t need or can’t afford. Always compare prices yourself to ensure you get the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

There are always ways you can save money at John Lewis*, so even if there isn't a cracking deal out there that works for you, don't assume you can't cut your costs further.
Ways to save money at John Lewis include:
- £2 Click & Collect. Save on delivery if you're spending less than £50 by collecting your items from a store (find your nearest*). Orders of £50+ get free delivery, and £30+ orders get free Click & Collect.
- Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to see in which shops they had most success haggling, and John Lewis shoppers had a success rate of 72% - so it's definitely worth a try if you're feeling brave. Read our Haggle on the High Street guide for more haggling tips.
- Shop in the sale. John Lewis has a few sales throughout the year which usually range from 'up to 20% off' to 'up to 70% off'.
- Check other retailers against its 'Never Knowingly Undersold' price promise. In September this year, John Lewis bought back its 'Never Knowingly Undersold' price match policy which it had previously axed in August 2022. If you've purchased an item but find it for a lower price at one of its listed retailers within seven days of buying, it’ll refund the difference.
- Check similar retailers, eg, Selfridges. If you're not committed to buying from John Lewis, check for deals from other department stores such as Selfridges, where you may find there's a better offer.
- Had a problem with John Lewis? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to John Lewis*.

John Lewis deals on 100s of electricals, beauty, home & more
Lots of price-matching, but can be good for extras. More offers still to come
ExpiredIf you go online or in-store to John Lewis*, you can get discounts on hundreds of items across its electricals, beauty & fragrance, fashion, and home departments in its Black Friday sale, which started from Friday 1 November.
John Lewis told us there will be offers on throughout the month until Thursday 5 December, although specific offers may end sooner.
There isn't a blanket discount across everything – instead different departments have different offers. Currently, deals we've spotted include up to £300 off TVs and 20% off selected fragrances (we saw the same deals in 2023), as well as up to 30% off brands such as Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. From what we've seen so far, many items are price-matched elsewhere by other retailers.
Delivery's £4.50, or free if you're spending £50 or more.
Extended returns and price-match policy
Any item bought from now until Tuesday 24 December can be returned until Thursday 23 January 2025.
In September, John Lewis brought back its 'Never Knowingly Undersold' price-match policy which it previously axed in August 2022. If you've purchased an item but find it for a lower price at one of its listed retailers within seven days of buying, it’ll refund the difference.
Something to consider – if the price is the same at other retailers, John Lewis often includes an extended warranty for 'free', such as a five-year guarantee on TVs and two-year guarantees on electricals, compared to the standard one-year warranty offered by most other retailers.
Examples of some deals we spotted on Friday 29 November:
- Yves Saint Laurent Y For Men eau de parfum, 60ml* – £61.60 (was £77). Price matched at Boots and Lookfantastic
- Ghd Original hair styler* – £100 (was £139). Price matched at Amazon and Very DEAL ENDED
- Panasonic TV-55W90AEB (2024) LED HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart Fire TV (55-inch)* – £699 (was £899). Price matched at Panasonic
Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

John Lewis up to 40% off 100s of items?
Last year, discounts on home, fashion, beauty & tech, eg, £84 Tom Ford perfume (was £105)
ExpiredLast year, John Lewis* discounted hundreds of items during its Black Friday sale, and we expect more of the same this year. We predict there will be discounts of up to 20% across many departments, including electrical, home, fashion, beauty and toys from Friday 1 November.
In 2023, its Black Friday sale began on Wednesday 1 November and lasted the duration of November, though specific deals ended sooner and others were added as the month progressed. When the sale started last year, it had up to 40% off small kitchen appliances, up to £100 off MacBooks, up to £300 off TVs and 20% off selected fragrances, among much more.
In September this year, John Lewis bought back its 'Never Knowingly Undersold' price match policy which it had previously axed in August 2022, so it's worth checking that out when doing your research before buying. This gives it an edge compared to last year.
We'd also predict John Lewis will have an extended return policy too, usually this is any item purchased during November until around Christmas Eve can be returned up until around the third week of January.
Examples of discounts spotted at John Lewis last year, including good and bad:
- Ninja BN495UK auto-IQ stand food blender – £79.99 (was £99.99). CHEAPER at AO for £78
- Tom Ford Black Orchid eau de parfum 50ml – £84.80 (was £105). Next cheapest £85 at Boots
- 2020 Apple MacBook Air 13.3" retina display, M1 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD – £799 (was £1,009). Price matched at Very for £799
In previous sales, we found that the most popular items sold out fast, so if you really want something and it's a good deal, it's best to go quick.
Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.
